- Musical instruments. Growing up I played three: violin, oboe and piano. I sucked at all of them.
- Volleyball. In high school I throroughly enjoyed this sport. When my sister began to play I would play with her. She no longer plays - though there is still a beach court at my folks' house.
- Softball. I played since I was little, and love to toss the ball around. Unfortunately, I can't find my mit. I've played with Pete when he was in a league, but really no one to play with. I don't know if Dan can catch.
- Stamps. Yes, I collected these. I actually think I could be sitting on some loot. When I used to go antiqueing with my parents, I would make small purchase. I still have them all - in mint condition. Antiques Roadshow?
- Crochet. Again, when I was little, my fingaz could work it. I've since forgotten how.
- Writing Poetry. In high school and college, I would write for hours. College girls always make Sylvia Plath so sexy. I - in fact - do not like to read poetry even though I have taken like a million poetry classes.
- Yoga. I've been to a few bikram yoga classes. I like it, but i'm so self-conscious and afraid i'm going to fart or laugh at someone else who does.
- Gym. For a while I was going each night after work. Then some retard (literally) kept repetitively hitting on me and I got fed up.
- Reading Books. All the time still.
- Reading Magazines. No as much as I used to, which is bad. My biz requires it - even if it's Us Weekly.
- Running trails. In high school and college I would regularly run the trails at Reis Park - not too much as I've got that asthma thing, but I did it and enjoyed it. These days, everytime I run my ankle gives out and I fall on my face. Plus I just don't have the lung capacity.
- Jewelry Making. Used to love it. Made some ugly shit. Now my fingaz are too clumsy.
Like I've said, I've tried puzzles, knitting and drawing. I think I might try yoga again. Any thoughts on potential new hobbies.

Pottery - looked into it. am heavily considering.
Sewing - no. hate it. makes me cross-eyed.
Church - NEVER
Swimming - love it, but currently too fat.
Origami - redick
Basket making - dan would kill me if he saw another basket in this house.
Aromatherapy - again, dan would kill me if I added another scent - making thing to the home
Dance - will look into
Volunteer - will look into at the SPCA of Tompkins County
I wish you were closer so I had a volleyball/softball partner. :(
Call me a reject, but I enjoy carving rubber stamps (my latest was a penis) and making stencils to spray/paint on t-shirts and other assorted shizz.
There's also photography (which I stink at, I've found) and sculpting (clay's pretty inexpensive, and good for nervous hands). Making collages can be cool, but tedious.
Stained glass is an awesome hobby, although it can get expensive and requires a course, I'd imagine. Same goes for screenprinting, but so much fun. Gocco's the latest in print making.
If you're bored and looking for ideas, check out craftster.org
P.S. Farting is the norm in yoga class, so I hear.
thanks for the tips jilly. i'm def. interested in sculpting. i like that.
